Abstract Objective: To establish a carboplatin-resistance human retinoblastoma cell line SO-Rb50/CBP and study its biological characteristics and the probable drug-resistance mechanism. Methods: First, SO-Rb50/CBP was induced by intermittently administration of high-concentration of carboplatin (CBP). Then MTT assay was used to detect drug sensitivity of the two cell lines. Then reverse transcripts polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was employed to detect the transcription of MRP and GST-pi genes in cells of SO-Rb50 and SO-Rb50/CBP respectively. Immunohistochemical technique and flow cytometry were used to detect the proteins of MRP and GST-pi of the above cells. Results: The drug-resistance index of SO-Rb50/CBP cell line to CBP was 15.7. The population doubling time of SO-Rb50 and SO-Rb50/CBP were 44.32 h and 50.9 h respectively. The drug-resistance indices of SO-Rb50/CBP to DDP, VCR, MMC, VP-16 and 5-FU were 6.89, 5.68, 4.58, 2.28 and 1.88 respectively. The positive rate of GST-pi and MRP in SO-Rb50/CBP cells were 96.19% and 90.21% respectively by immunocytochemistry, while in SO-Rb50 cells were 20.12% and 30.48% respectively. The mRNA level of MRP and GST-pi were higher in SO-Rb50/CBP cells than that in SO-Rb50 cells. Conclusions: The established carboplatin-resistance human retinoblastoma cell line SO-Rb50/CBP showed resistance to several other drugs such as MMC, DDP, VCR, VP-16. The drug-resistance mechanism of SO-Rb50/CBP cells maybe due to high expression of MRP and GST-pi genes.
